Billy Gillispie arrested for DUI

I'm glad Kentucky replaced him. I just hope he gets the help he needs.

Rumor has it that he was in Kentucky to finalize the settlement with the University.

Article with mugshot (courtesy of our fine friends at the Lexington Herald-Leader).

Good ol' Billy sure loves his booze. He was arrested several times while he was the coach here on suspicion of drunk driving.....I don't know why it was "suspected" instead of known, because he did drive the opposite way on a one way street.

That's ridiculous. There is no excuse to drive drunk. There are taxis if it comes to it. Or you could not be so lazy and walk. You could kill someone doing that.

My favorite part of this article is his 2am golfing excuse.


He may also be in Kentucky because his house which is on the southern border of the county, in a newly built/exclusive neighborhood is worth millions. I'm sure unless someone comes in from the outside with that kind of money, it wont get sold (no time soon anyway).

Drinking is not the only thing he became known for here in Lexington during his short tenure at UK, but I wont go there.

I have friends that live in Lawrenceburg and have actually been to that Wal-Mart.

Anyway, hope he gets the help he needs.

If it's what I was hearing, I don't blame you. A bit.
